Why are Bethesda DLCS always better than the main game?
>>
>>344025272
Because the main games are always terrible.
>>
>>344025272
Remove Far Harbor
>>
hmm let's think
>you need the main game
>DLCs cost money as well
>therefore DLC=more moneys
>>
>>344025368
Far Harbor was good

I enjoyed it
>>
>>344025272
>broken steel

Why did you include that shit but not point lookout or the Pitt? The others are fine tho, and even tho it was obsidian the new Vegas dlcs were great. As to why, who the hell knows, maybe they can put more effort into a smaller scale story?
>>
>>344025272
If you don't make something worth buying, some people won't bother buying it.
>>
>>344025272
It's the same with From games.
>>
>>344025272
>always
>Operation: Anchorage and Mothership Zeta
>>
Remove Far Harbor.

Nuka World has potential to be better, so long as the whole ability to be a raider and take over settlements extends beyond Nuka World and into the Common Wealth as well.

Otherwise it'll just be Pitt 2.0.
>>
>>344025448
Old Iron King and Old Hunter was like 10 times better than the base game
>>
>>344025448
Are DLCs from Bethesda created like From?
>>
why are CDPR expansions better than the main game?
>>
>>344025368
>>344025521
Far Harbor was better than the main game because the main game is shit. I did enjoy Far Habor a lot.
>>
>>344025272
Its a simple explanation actually, by the time most large DLC is released most normalfags have moved on, so they have to make something better to bring anyone back

notice how in case of TES games, both Oblivion and Skyrim DLC show many more of the weird aspects of the lore then the main titles, and how its much more in your face about it? Shivering Isles is about mantling an insane god, Dawnguard mentions the Ideal Masters and Soul Cairn AND goes into more detail about the Falmer, and Dragonborn revolves around a Daedric Prince and a Dragonborn trying to mantle an old god
>>
why are you forgetting Dragonborn?
>>
>>344025648
Because the main game is shit
>>
>>344025648
The first was fucking GOAT. Blood and Vine is shit.
>>
>>344025521
But the Pitt was good
>>
>>344025693
He didnt
>>
>>344025693
why are you blind?
also dragonborn was only good for nostalgia feels otherwise it was same souless level scaled half thought plot garbage
>>
>>344025676
Miraak wasn't trying to mantle Hermaeus Mora though.
>>
>>344025750

Never said it was bad.

But so far, FO4 in way too many ways has basically been a revised Fallout 3. Down to even it's DLC.
>>
>>344025521
Far Harbour might be shit but it still is better than the absolut dog shit that is FO4
>>
>>344025368
Far Harbor is way better than basegame Fallout 4, how can you possibly disagree
>>
>>344025272
main games have to hook the most casual player there is
>>
>>344025991
minus on minus doesn't give plus in real life
>>
>>344025894
That doesn't mesh with your posts.

Far Harbor is good and Point Lookout was the best DLC for that game.
>>
>>344026087
Don't be a fucking moron, Fallout 4 is decent and Far Harbor is good.
>>
>>344026039
This and once they are hooked The Todd gives more creative freedom
>>
>>344025894
Fair enough, far Harbor is basically lookout 2.0

Wouldve been nice to see some other place like Philly, maybe fight a faction that styles themselves after the notorious giant assholes that are Philly sports fans. They could even throw snowballs packed with fusion cells inside them. Also could be a gay cult based on a misinterpretation of the city of brotherly love kek
>>
>>344025887
never said he did
>and a Dragonborn trying to mantle an old god
HermaMora is a Daedra not a god

Because Bethesda's lead writer cannot write an extensive plot that remains cohesive and coherent to save his fucking career.

Short stories, they seem to nail down pretty well. Far Harbor, along with Skyrim, FO3, and Oblivion's DLCs were pretty good. But the main story always seems to suffer horribly.

Skyrim had an story that fumbled around a lot.
Fallout 3's story was absolute trash.
Fallout 4's story was just a big pile of fuck.

But their DLC content is always way better for some reason.
>>
>>344025479
Anchorage was way superior, fallout 3 was absolute shit.
>>
>>344026430
>Short stories, they seem to nail down pretty well.
it always kill everyone and that's it
no closure, no aftermath not a thing
it just ends, not that there is something to aftermath about all their stories are two bit primitive(lore aside that was built 15-25 years before 3 recent games)
>>
>>344026624

I never paid attention to Fallout 3's plot, even on my first playthrough, until years later when I read a synopsis of the story, and realized how absolutely fucking retarded it was.
>>
>>344025272
Point Lookout was my favourite FO3 dlc.
Is Far Harbor anything like that?
>>
>>344026345
Deadra are gods.
>>
>>344026842
No.
>>
>>344026837
It's point lookout 2.0 in terms of area, atmosphere, radiation crazed enemies, etc
>>
>>344025272
Where is Knife of Dunwall?
>>
>>344026842
wrong
>>
>>344026998
Cool thanks, I'll get it at some stage then.
>>
>>344025272
>Posting Broken Steel instead of Point Lookout
Broken Steel ain't that good mate.
>>
>>344025272
>Broken Steel
>continuation and conclusion of the main story as DLC is acceptable
>>
>>344025479
>the Gary 23 glitch in the anchorage mission to get all the weapons and ammo from the simulation at perfect condition and they don't break.

It was fun until I found this
>>
>why is solid shit better than liquid shit?
>>
>>344028878
No

They're more focused. Sprawling, open-world, RPGs are fun, very fun, and account for hundreds of hours of stuff to do, BUT it makes the main quest feel less focused and, consequently, important.

>>344025648
Same goes for Witcher games, I agree, and I loved the main game.

Hearts of Stone > Blood and Wine > Cirious Business

Hearts of Stone remains one of the best pieces of writing I've experienced in a game, but then I'm a sucker for Faustian stories.
>>
>>344025272
name 1 game where the dlcs were worse than the main game

protip: you shant
